Legislative elections: follow the “France 2022” debate live between the main political parties – Le Monde

Legislative: Elisabeth Borne continues her campaign for the legislative elections, as a candidate and leader of the majority “We need action! Three days before the first round of the legislative elections, between the Côtes-d’Armor and the Channel, Elisabeth Borne continued, Thursday, to fill out her notebooks with grievances in the face of French people worried about their pensions, purchasing power or the health system. The head of government came to support two candidates for the presidential majority in the legislative elections – Olivier Allain in Côtes-d’Armor and Bertrand Sorre in Manche – before going to his own constituency of Calvados. “The years go by, and the better it goes, the less my husband is paid for the work he does”, lamented the wife of a pig farmer, at the Lamballe market (Côtes-d ‘Armour). Ms. Borne, who considered that this ” [était] not the goal”, promised to examine in more detail the case of this young retiree, who only receives 420 euros in pension. The Prime Minister, Elisabeth Borne, exchanges with a trade unionist, during her visit in support of the candidate of the presidential majority in the 3rd district of Côtes-d’Armor, Olivier Allain, June 9, 2022.

I applied, sent 2,000 CVs in four years, crossed the street several times. Even when I want to be a waiter, I am refused,” he laments. Throughout this day, as with this CGT trade unionist critical of the government, the Prime Minister advances: “My method is to listen”. But in Granville (Manche), Marie-Annick, a nursing assistant for thirty years, who testifies to her of the difficulties encountered by the hospital, throws to her: “We need acts, not necessarily only exchanges in front of the cameras” . “I can assure you madam that we are fully aware that the situation is difficult”, replies Elisabeth Borne. In the hit parade of the Prime Minister’s interpellations is above all the future pension reform, which the Head of State has promised to come into force in the summer of 2023. On this subject, Ms. Borne referred to the next “consultations with trade unions and employers’ organizations on the subject”, ensuring that the government will “take into account the differences” between the trades, without being able to further enlighten its interlocutors.
